thanks! And I might go,,,is too early I know to plant rye,,oat,,winter wheat,,but hey,,, They are talking rain maybe and cool temps next week. It could grow and become woody this early. On the other hand the way deer ate my Brass down to nubs,, they might keep the greens munched in check too...

How long is rye seed viable? I have some from last year..Thanks...

Forecast through mid Sept is unseasonably cool. Which means a NW flow over Iowa. Not a wet pattern. Maybe some showers around. Not enough moisture for my ground to plant rye or anything Hope it changes. Our problem is still the record heat in the west. That there doesn’t bode well for a...

Good things with Drought: Yes the loneranger has some good things to mention! No Mosquitos, No ticks,,hard to find a Chigger. Couple weeks ago pesky flies while sitting on my porch. Tonight NOT a Fly!! Guess bugs need moisture too.....

For those concerned about the dryness,,and not to be the downer,,negetive, bad news all the time,person. Here is the latest Iowa forecast. this week one chance for rain. Most is expected to fall south and east of Iowa. Cool dry air for the most part. Lots of cold fronts have passed Iowa over...

Hey good advice,,but MY area has dealt with drought about every year during Summer at least for the past 5 years. One year was dry for 8 months with extremely low pond levels all around. Extremes in Weather are becoming more and more common. You may be able to do all those nifty things if you...

May look like that in another Month or two! Really not funny.

SE Iowa. We for the most part, avoided by some luck the dry until August. Unlike those poor souls in Western Iowa. Even so with almost no rain for August and lots of wind and sun my land has dried right down to cracking open. Seems like this pattern is persistent as it takes in more area...

No sense in planting anything until a good wet pattern is seen. Otherwise a small rain,,even an inch on my place would just germ things only to die out again. when DRY returns...could be a LONG time until a wet pattern.

No sorry,,, here in the Timber it is dry and shriveled. Fields are brown. Even golden rod looks bad. trees dropping leaves. forecast for first half of Sept is not looking favorable for a change. Bad news Loneranger? Ah,,just the facts man,just the facts.

Talk about food plots. My yard has become one!! My plots,,even clover are all dried up to nothing. I have been watering my yard daily to keep everything alive. My grass and wild clover are green. Probably only succulent greens for miles. Deer are invading my yard every evening. Coming right up...

No sorry you are wrong. I left N-Mich and have friends that still hunt the NE counties. They read me me the regs. The apple thing is True...

Maybe you are? Bottom line,,,however ya do it. It is artificially placing a food source out to attract game so you can hunt it. Food that is not naturally growing. Also food plots are a bit unfair. What do hunters do who do not own equipment or have the money to hire the work done. Reminds me...

To each there own opinion. In Mich they had it you couldn't hunt near an apple tree dropping apples. You had to pick them up. To me it's a joke. Somebody can dump a little corn on the ground across a field and it's baiting. On the other hand someone can plant a twenty acre corn field,set...

Well they may have been determined to be AG. but that is convenient because who is to say what plots are for? Deer,or for humans. Especially large plots. But placing artificial food out for the feeding and killing of deer is baiting. No matter how it's done. With a disk or a pail. More...

Food plots especially for deer. Are they a normal Ag process? Or baiting.

Hope your right Skip,,but rain does not have to come. Sept-Oct can be a transition time to Winter. Can be a very dry period. with all the drought on the map,,,not too confident on any wet. Check out the drought monitor map put out by the NWS,,NOAA. Iowa west,,,Drought...

Yep, I think we can. Doubt I’d see a difference really

Looks like the loneranger is not the only one thats dry. I planted way early with good rain but the August came and precip stopped. My growth slowed. The deer ate everything down to nubs. At least I fed the deer. Only a little earlier than I planned. Can plant greens mid September if it rains...

Thot mineral licks were Verboten?
